The concert will take place in the Community Room of the library. One of the premier autoharpists in the world, Miller is a renowned American folksinger and storyteller. An accomplished folklorist, historian, musicologist and song-collector, he has amassed a repertoire of over 5,000 songs.

His time-honored traditional folk songs and ballads will have people of all ages singing along, and Miller will interweave stories that will evoke a by-gone time when entertainment was homemade. Traveling 70,000 miles each year, this 21st century troubadour has performed from the Everglades to the Arctic Circle.

KARAOKE: O
A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING
ur family group wandered into Astoria’s Portway Tavern after a lively viewing of “Shanghaied in Astoria.” We weren’t ready to call it a night, and fried food and cold beer was in order. Brushing the popcorn from our hair, we ducked in out of the autumn drizzle and beheld something strange and wonderful: Karaoke night was in full swing. Curious, we found a table and took in the show. Front and center was an elderly gentleman clad in denim and a large cowboy hat belting out Johnny Cash’s “Ring Of Fire.” And he was good. Really, really good. He captured Cash’s baritone to a tee, and the patrons FODSSHG DQG ZKLVWOHG LQ DSSURYDO DV KH VKXIÀHG to his bar stool to slake his well-earned thirst. Next came a diminutive college-age girl in a pink T-shirt covered in sparkly hearts. A hush fell over the room. Was this where Bieber or One Direction would rear their ugly heads? After paging through the song booklet and punching in a few keys on the karaoke machine, she broke into a fantastic rendition of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” As if on cue, all the ladies in the room belted out “Jolene, Jolene, I’m begging you please don’t take my man” in unison each time the chorus came around. Everyone clapped vigorously as she curtsied and stepped down. The elderly cowboy sent her a drink. There was a pause in the singing as everyone eyed the room for the next brave soul. My wife was looking at me with arched eyebrows, and I could see the unspoken dare in her gaze: Go on, you know you want to. Caught up in the moment, I suddenly wanted nothing more than to serenade her with REO

Speedwagon’s “Keep On Loving You” and maybe get drinks sent to me by swooning admirers. It certainly looked easy enough. I asked our server what made karaoke so popular. “It’s a fun way to blow off some steam and come out of your shell a little,” she said. She leaned in conspiratorially. “Not everyone should, though.” I gave that careful thought. Everyone has rock star dreams of grandeur, whether it’s singing in WKH FDU RU OHDUQLQJ \RXU ¿UVW JXLWDU FKRUG 0D\be the responsible thing to do was recognize my limitations and stick to murdering my favorite songs in private. I decided to stay on the spectator side of the stage, but knew I couldn’t deny the urge for long. Several nearby taverns feature karaoke regularly. In Astoria, the Portway runs karaoke Wednesday through Saturday, and the Labor Temple Diner & Bar starts the fun at 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday. In Seaside, you can sing your favorite tune from 9 p.m. to close Friday and Sunday at the Twisted Fish Steakhouse.

from Portland called Karaoke From Hell, a live band that accompanies karaoke enthusiasts. I imagine it’s the closest you can get to feeling like David Lee Roth or Joan Jett for the evening, minus the spandex and hair spray. Manzanita Lighthouse offers a regular weekly gig hosted by a DJ. For added entertainment, there’s even a selection of costumes on hand, like feather boas, colorful wigs, and Elton John-style glasses. I was told it’s called “Prop-aroke.” Sold on the costumes, I chose the Lighthouse and wandered in on a blustery evening before the holidays, determined to conquer karaoke. My chosen song was “I Wanna Be Sedated” by The Ramones. The lyrics are easy and consist of a lot of “ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba.” Karaoke was already humming, and there were plenty of rock star contenders. A group of women was sharing the stage and giggling their way through Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats.” The crowd hooted and hollered as the ladies returned to their light beers. A young man took the stage, donned a novelty wig, and launched enthusiastically into a pop song I didn’t recognize. I ordered a drink and waited for my courage to crest. And waited. And waited.

Sadly, it never came. Turns out, I’m a huge chicken, and there probably isn’t enough beer in the world to change that. Despite that, I discovered that karaoke is about fun, camaraderie and hearing some old favorites in a new way. Luckily, there are plenty of people who are far braver and much less tone-deaf than I am. Spectator or performer, it’s fantastic entertainment for rainy Oregon Coast evenings.

North Coast Chorale welcomes singers Spring concerts will include ‘The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace’ ASTORIA — The North Coast Chorale is beginning rehearsals for its spring concert and welcomes singers of all levels to join. Rehearsals are held from 6:45 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, located at 588 16th St. North Coast Chorale is a FRPPXQLW\ EDVHG QRQSURÂżW organization dedicated to the presentation of great choral literature. Each year, the chorale, led by Denise Reed, presents two performances — one in December and one in May — each devoted to various music genres, such as jazz, traditional sacred and classical. Additionally, the chorale participates in the annual Astoria Music Festival in June and hosts a Messiah Sing-a-long, a fundraiser for local food banks.

Denise Reed has directed the North Coast Chorale since 2006.
ÂżOLDWLRQ ZLWK &ODWVRS &RPPXnity College, students are given the opportunity to perform while earning college credit. This spring, on May 21 and 22, the North Coast Chorale will perform “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peaceâ€? composed by Karl Jenkins. This piece was originally dedicated to the
Kosovo Crisis, and although “The Armed Man� sounds like the music should be all about war, it is far from that. Due largely to a grant from the Clatsop County Cultural Coalition, the chorale’s performance of “The Armed Man� will be accompanied by a symphonic orchestra, the driving force to producing the brilliance and intensity of this beautiful piece. Meant to stir the emotions and arouse the sensitivity and the sentiments of the audience, this presentation of “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace� will be dedicated to victims of terrorism, with thanks to those who work to keep peace. The second half of the spring concert will be the performance of “The Hour Has Come,� a choral symphony by Srul Irving Glick set to poems by Carole H. Leckner. This piece contains
description of our loving connectedness to all mankind and the earth. “Singing opens our hearts and minds,� says chorale director Denise Reed, “and I am convinced that through the message of music, we can make a difference in the way people look at their lives and the universe.� Reed has been the music director for the North Coast Chorale since 2006; under her direction concerts often have a multi-cultural focus. Reed earned a Master of Science in music education from Chicago’s DePaul University and an Doctor of Education degree from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ultimately teaching chorus and music theory in Tennessee, Florida, Nevada and here on the North Coast. She also composes and arranges music. For more information, contact Reed at 503-338-8403 or Cheryl at 503-791-5681.

BAY CENTER BUSINESS AND SOCIAL LIFE IN THIS NORTH PACIFIC COUNTY SMALL TOWN STILL REVOLVES AROUND THE WATER
W
illapa Bay is the most productive coastal ecosystem in the continental United States, and the town of Bay Center is the hub
of oyster production. The Goose Point Peninsula, which juts into the bay where the Palix River enters, was the site of a native encampment and trading ground long before and many years after the arrival of white settlers. The natives called both the river and their camp “Palix,” meaning “slough covered with the trees,” )armers and ¿shermen settled the area in the early 1850s. They built a town perched on the end of the peninsula, which they also called Palix. Oyster harvesting and processing companies formed, the town grew, and in1875 the name was changed to Bay Center. The early residents were a pious lot and built so many churches that the town was known as New Jerusalem or Saints Rest, and they rest today beneath the headstones of the Bush Pioneer Cemetery. Like most towns in the area, roads were slow to arrive, so boats were the chief means of transportation. The town pier was Bay Center’s main street, the nucleus of social and business life. It still is. There have been changes, of course. The population today is less than 300 and only two churches remain. Only one out of seven residents is Native American; the Chinook Tribal Of¿ce is located in Bay Center next to Bush Pioneer County Park. What hasn’t changed is that the town still survives on the harvesting and canning of oysters, Manila clams, salmon and Dungeness crab. Business is still centered on the harbor, and that’s where people still gather, at a café and bar called Dock of the Bay. Most often you’ll ¿nd Danielle .irpes behind the counter, dispensing opinions with the hotcakes and sandwiches. The menu is standard café with the addition of a lot of oysters, prepared by .irpes or her mother. Whatever you want to know about Bay Center or its people, .irpes will probably have the answer, or she’ll know somebody who does. The decaying house at the edge of town? Ben Cheney built it and Cheney Stadium in Ta-
Oyster barges rest in Bay Center’s harbor.

coma, although his true claim to fame was standardizing the size of 2x4 wall studs. What about that two-masted sailing vessel, the Hero? Many visitors ask because Hero is the ¿rst thing you see as you approach Bay Center. It was moved there years ago on a high tide because its draft is too great otherwise. It was to become a bed and breakfast. Never happened. Now the boat is in bad shape and probably headed for a scrapyard. That would be unfortunate, because Hero is an historic ship. With diesel as well as sail and a wooden hull, the National Science Foundation launched the ship in 1968 as a research vessel for the Antarctic. There it served for years, the last wooden vessel used in the Antarctic, the end of an era. Today there are two major topics of conversation in Dock of the Bay. The ¿rst is the increasing dif¿culty, almost impossibility, of making a living ¿shing out of Bay Center. (veryone seems to be semi-retired or working other jobs. “(verything’s kind of side work,” says .irpes. The other topic is the Shoreline Master Program, mandated by the state and implemented
by Paci¿c County. One of those most concerned is Nick Jambor, who founded (kone Oyster Company with his wife, Joanne, in 1982. He fears that the plan will gradually eliminate many businesses on or near the water, and if enough of the canning and harvesting infrastructure is eliminated, Bay Center, deprived of its only industry, will fade away to be replaced by vacation homes. (kone is a Chinook word meaning “good spirit,” and Jambor’s company is taking an innovative route to the future by raising triploid oysters, which, like seedless watermelons, have an extra chromosome. This results in a sterile oyster that spends more time growing and less time fooling around, producing a larger and ¿rmer oyster. (kone is also growing oysters on long lines, a labor-intensive technique that raises the oysters above their greatest natural enemy, the ghost shrimp. It seems that, one way or another, oysters and Bay Center will be with us for some time. Which is a good thing because, as .irpes says, “It’s a neat little town.”
Nick Jambor founded Ekone Oyster Company with his wife, Joanne, in 1982, in Bay Center, Washington.

ï Support is always close at hand in a small community, and these peninsula [j businesses value giving back Story by CATE GABLE There’s a new breed of entrepreneurs operating in our small coastal towns. They’ve either grown up here and want to come home to give a little back, or they’ve found their way to us because of the com munity values that are so apparent where we live. Business for these special entre preneurs is not just about profit anymore — it’s about supporting their communities. Tiffany and Brady Turner are two of these folks. They were raised on the Long Beach Peninsula, graduated from Ilwaco High School and went off to college. But they always knew they wanted to come back home. They recently opened the 22room Ashore Hotel (the old Sundowner Motor Inn) in downtown Seaside, and they own and manage the 12-room boutique ho tel Inn at Discovery Coast in Long Beach, the 80-room Adrift Hotel in Long Beach, and Pickled Fish Bar and Restaurant. Their most recent way to support the community is Cocktails for a Cause.

Nicholas James Wilson-Codega, 28, grew up on the Long Beach Peninsula and was diagnosed in May 2015 with stage four esophageal cancer. The Lost Roo hosted a fundraiser for him in December that raised $10,000. Nick died Jan. 10, about a month after the fundraiser.
Catherine and Ed Ketel are community boosters, working closely over the years with the Long Beach animal shelter and hosting a fundraiser in December for Nick Wilson-Codega.

“I guess I can take partial credit for the idea,” says Tiffany, “but it was really a team effort. We’re always looking for ways to support our community, and our bar manag er, Matt Lessnau, also a local, had worked with the Ilwaco Parks and Rec for awhile. They were trying to raise money for a new [. community park, and we just started won dering if there was some way we could help. Cocktails for a Cause was bom!” The idea was that the team would create a cocktail and on a special night sell it for S10, sending $5 per cocktail off to the parks effort. The first Cocktails for a Cause eve ning went off without a hitch. Once they saw how fun and successful it could be, the [’ Adrift staff thought, “Why not do this every
Adrift Operations and Marketing Direc tor Linh DePledge says, “Our pay-it-forward campaign lias raised more than S3,100 for deserving local organizations since Sep tember. And we’re already planning for the next couple months of the new year.” “One of the organizations we’re think ing about is the Liberty Theater—wouldn’t that be a good one?” DePledge continues. “We have a presence now with Ashore on both sides of the river, so we consider the whole North Coast our community, and we want to continue to support our vendors, customers and staff— all the people who make a difference in our business.” The first few charities supported were recommendations from die staff, but Adrift is also open to getting suggestions from members of the community. (Send your ideas for notable organizations or causes to Rebecca Charles, the food and beverage director for Pickled Fish at the Adrift, at rebecca@adrifthotel.com.) “I also want to say that this Cocktails for a Cause is not some new shiny toy we just created. It really conies from the heart,” says DePLedge. “There is a authenticity to who Tiffany and Brady are and how they want to pay it forward. It’s in their family DNA. They see the business they’re devel oping as a conduit for giving. They do so many tilings on a personal level.” The reality of this vision is apparent when you enter the lobby of the Adrift — the coffee is always hot, customers and their dogs are frolicking, kids are playing games in the comer. It’s a new model for doing business that includes the well-being of all the stakeholders.

Now, Pickled Fish offers a special Cocktail for a Cause that changes roughly every month, each time supporting a dif ferent local organization. The added twist that’s evolved is that each craft cocktail is

So, for the South Pacif ic County Humane Society, the drink was Man’s Best Friend; for the Boys and Girls Club, it was Silly Kid; for the Ocean Park Food Bank, it was Comfort and Joy. The Adrift team has fun with both the cocktail ingredients and the names.
Another recent example of community caring happened late last year, catalyzed by the veterinarian team of Catherine and Ed Ketel. Catherine and Ed have always been community boosters; they’ve worked closely over the years with the Long Beach animal shelter, offering services to abused dogs and cats. And Ed is also an accom plished chef. As often happens in a small town, word got around that the Wilson-Codega fam ily had another crisis. (Some folks may
remember that the family lost their father Jim Codega to a heart attack while he was fishing in Alaska years back.) Son Nick, 28 and an Ilwaco High School grad, was diag nosed with stage four esophageal cancer in May. Leigh Wilson, Nick’s mother, was the cashier at Adelaide’s Bookstore for many years, and sister Lily was a friend of the Lindblad-Ketel family. When Ed got the news about Nick’s diagnosis, he and Catherine talked it over and decided they wanted to put on a spe cial dinner benefit for Nick. First they called Mark and Helen Johnson, owners of the The Lost Roo, a restaurant in down town Long Beach because they knew they would need a fairly large venue. The Johnsons have been at the center of several community fundraisers and loved the idea. Then Ed checked in with local business owner Jeff Harrell who was the second half of the duo wrapping sushi for Jimella Lu cas’ fundraiser several years ago. Jeff was on board with the idea immediately. Lost Roo chef Jeff Marcus was rarin’ to help. Once they established the Hawai’ian Luau theme, Ed and Catherine bought an entire pig to roast, and the team set to work creating side dishes, just hoping they would attract enough people to make it all worthwhile. Local musicians lined up to provide entertainment, and the tickets went for $25. On the evening of the event in early December, and despite the short notice, the community came out in droves. The Lost Roo was packed with hustle and bus tle and community spirit. Over $10,000 dollars was raised to help the Wilson-Co dega family with medical bills. Nick died on Jan. 10, one month after the fundraiser. His Facebook page has since been flooded with notes, memories and tributes from friends. Fundraising generosity can also hap pen in large urban areas, but there is something special, more personal about our North Coast fundraising events. We know each other, we know who is hav ing trouble making ends meet, or who is sick. We may not talk about it, or even need to, but when there is a way to give, support pours forth.

It's a smooth, fall flavor-inspired cocktail featuring bourbon, walnut liqueur, cinnamon syrup, benedictine, and apple. Ingredients

Hear songs from the heart in Long Beach Peninsula Arts Center hosts singer-songwriter Terry Holder LONG BEACH, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Peninsula Arts Center will present award-winning singer-songwriter Terry Holder at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23. Until 1999, Holderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fulltime job was being a stay-athome mom. Her life changed when the youngest of her three daughters moved away, a transition that coincided with the passing of her mother. Depression settled in. Seeking solace, Holder reached for her guitar and began shifting her pain into writing music.
7KH ÂżUVW VRQJ VKH SHQQHG became the title track for her 2001 debut CD â&#x20AC;&#x153;Am I Here Is This Me,â&#x20AC;? which was originally intended only as a keepsake for her daughters. The album of introspective songs started garnering sales and critical acclaim. It was followed by her second CD â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colored Roomsâ&#x20AC;? and her third studio album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ticket To The Moment,â&#x20AC;? both delivering emotionally driven songs with lyrics that take you on a journey with Ă&#x20AC;DVKHV RI DEDQGRQ KHDUWEUHDN love, social and self-awareness.
YOU R RESTAU RAN T
Holder is touring as a duo in support of her new CD â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flowers at Midnightâ&#x20AC;? performing at house concerts, festivals and venues around the country where she continues to build a loyal following. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I can touch one person with a song, then I feel that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished something great in my life,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything is possible.

Two artists selected for AVA a-i-r program ‘Rumors’ abound on stage in Tillamook Blaine Verley, Annie Eskelin granted three-month residency
TAPA presents Neil Simon comedy play Jan. 22 to Feb. 6
ASTORIA — Astoria Visual Arts’ Artist-in-Residence Program has selected Blaine Verley of Astoria and Annie Eskelin of :arrenton for the upcoming three-month residencies, which run Jan. 1 through March 30. The two artists will work unencumbered in studios provided rent-free by Astoria Visual Arts, with support from Astoria Coffee House & Bistro, Albatross & Co., Astoria Co-op Grocery, City Lumber, Dots ‘N Doodles Art Supplies and Fort George Brewery. In his 40-plus years of pursuing painting, Verley has never worked out of a studio of his own, set aside and furnished just for creating art. He looks forward to working with larger canvases that he hasn’t been able to execute in his current work/living space. Verley aims to continue to chronicle “Astoria Nocturne,” a visual idea he has pursued since 1983. “I truly feel as though I am reaching my stride when it comes to painting cityscapes, landscapes, ¿gures, faces, still life and purely inventive scenes from dreamscapes and my imagination,” he says. In moving to Astoria, Eskelin resigned as the executive director for the arts center in La Grande, a position that fed her artistic spirit but also kept her busy from creating her own work. “I am now a stay-at-home mom and feel incredibly inspired
TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts presents the Neil Simon comedy “Rumors,” directed by Kelli McMellon. The play opens Friday, Jan. 22 with an opening gala celebration that includes complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a beverage of choice with the purchase of each ticket. The show runs through Feb. 6. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7 p.m., and Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. “Rumors” is set in a New York townhouse, where the Deputy Mayor of New York City has just shot himself. Though only a Àesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of farce. Gathering for their 10th wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room, and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer and lawyer’s wife must get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As confusion and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. The cast for this comedy include both theater veterans as well as several actors making their stage debut. Playing Ken Gorman and his wife, Chris, the well-to-do lawyers who are ¿rst on the scene, are

by this area,” she says. “I am eager for the opportunity to have my own studio, experiment with different mixed-media elements and see what happens.” Although she likes the intimacy of working small, Eskelin will use her residency to work on a larger scale and hopes to develop a body of work to exhibit locally.
The AVA a-i-r program is designed to encourage the creative, intellectual and professional growth of emerging artists. :hile no exhibition, publication or performance is required, community responsibility includes a weekend open studio event before the end of each AVA a-i-r session. Finalists (currently limited to locally based artists) are chosen in a blind selection process on the basis of artistic merit by an independent panel of established working artists and arts patrons. AVA was founded in 1989 as a nonpro¿t membership organization to enhance, strengthen and promote the arts in the Astoria area. For more information, visit www.astoriavisualarts.org

Wauna >Za ݜnԥ@ noun 1. an unincorporated community in Clatsop County. Located 11 miles west of Clatskanie on U.S. Highway 30 up against the banks of the Columbia River, Wauna is home to the Georgia-Pacific paper mill 2. Wauna paper mill (colloq.): Opened in 1965 by Crown Zellerbach, today this paper and pulp mill annually manufactures more than 30 million cases of household paper products, including Brawny paper towels and Angel Soft bath tissue 3. Wauna Credit Union: a local financial cooperative with more than 20,000 members that has been based in Clatskanie since 1967 Origin: Native American, probably Klickitat. Wauna was both the name of the Columbia River and the mythological river god that the river represented. Wauna is the god featured in the legend of the Bridge of the Gods, which spoke of a great crossing across the Columbia River hundreds of years before construction on the Astoria-Megler Bridge began. The name Wauna was applied to the community in Clatsop County by A.W. Clark in 1912 with the establishment of a post office. The post office closed in 1980. “Georgia-Pacific’s Wauna paper mill, which turns 50 this year, remains the largest single employer in Clatsop County, with more than 800 employees.” —Edward Stratton, “Engineers play major role with Wauna: Clatsop County’s

Bundler operator Craig Zacher inspects a freshly wrapped package of Brawny paper towels at the Wauna converting plant in April. largest employer on the hunt for top talent,” The Daily Astorian, Oct. 9, 2015
“I read with great interest the letter detailing the Koch Brothers ownership connection to the Georgia Pacific Wauna Paper Mill. Being the largest single employer in Clatsop County, this relationship is critical.” —Chris Connaway, “Letter: Kochs attack union,” The Daily Astorian, May 8, 2015
“‘There it was, only a short dis-
tance away, a great natural bridge, a rugged bridge of stone, pierced with a wide arched tunnel through which the waters flowed, extending across the river. It was covered with stunted pine and underbrush growing in every nook and crevice; and on it were Indian horsemen with plumed hair and rude lances. It was the bridge of the Wauna, the bridge of the Gods.”
I’m sitting seven feet away from Oregon Book Award-winning author Willy Vlautin. He drove from his home in Scappoose to discuss his novel, “The Motel Life,” and the movie adaptation of it with my English Credit Recovery students at Astoria High School’s Gray School campus. My students read excerpts from this extraordinary novel that unfolds the hard-luck story of two orphaned brothers from Reno. We had potent discussions about the brothers’ poor choices, loyalty and the quiet courage it takes to not run
away from bad decisions. We also wrote hundreds of words about how “The Motel Life” connected to our lives. Willy, also the front man and singer/songwriter for the acclaimed Portland rock band Richmond Fontaine, is a riveting storyteller. He holds the class spellbound with the reasons why he created these brothers and how playing football and writing saved him in high school. The students ask questions. Some of them didn’t like the book’s ending. Willy explains his reasoning behind it. He ad-
vocates for Willy Nelson, reading, old movies and Dodge Darts. He talks about the differences between writing a novel and playing in a band. Willy’s not here to lecture or reveal the magic nonexistent formula for becoming a successful author and musician who makes a living from his creativity, the very dream many of my students have. He’s just suggesting that they “try” at life, that trying can lead to good outcomes. Not trying gets you absolutely nowhere. Trying is everything. It’s the most important lesson these students can hear. It goes beyond a classroom lesson. It’s called life. Willy gives my students a glimpse of his unique hard-earned creative life in the most honest of ways — face to face, candid, without affectation or clichés. I like to think they heard him. I did. When the gig concludes, Willy gives away free copies of “The Motel Life” and signs them for the students. They got to meet a renowned author and shake his hand, an author who was just like them not too long ago … who started trying. Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon. His books are available through coastal bookstores or his web site, nestuccaspitpress.com

Q What is a tolerance break, and can it rejuvenate the effects of cannabis? A. A tolerance break is a short-term break from cannabis to clear one’s head and body of cannabinoids, notably THC. While it is possible to become highly tolerant of cannabis and its myriad effects, the buildup can be reversed by taking a break from the drug. Some consumers benefit from reducing their rate of consumption, while others choose to abstain completely for a set duration so that the more noticeable, psychoactive effects of cannabis can return at fuller potency.
